Were I not more
careful to avoid
making a premature
disclosing disclosure of their
crimes the than
they have been to
avoiding committing
them.

He may in the
same mind in the
same state in my
evidence as laid
in the year June 1798
before the Committee
of Finance: and
of such things care
worth preserving
you yourself my
dear Sir, could furnish
him with
some specimens copies of
it – written four
years before, at
the time when
was in the bad,
and when Dr Spencer

Throughout the whole
of the business, from
the time that the forgery first
of clandestine opposition
finger was help up
by the first Lord, the
general rule has been
to give or keep nothing but
hopes, and these hopes
false hopes ones. Witness
one instance sort sample instead of
a thousand – the date
of letter ordering an official orders to make preparations for 2000
convicts. 24 Mar. 1800
in a letter concerted
for the express purpose
of making a pretence
for giving none.

This rule of the
noble Lord continues
in the instruments
now professed indeed for as being
it seems for to be
be wish departed from:
departed from
but only pro
one – not the jure but
in consideration
of the particular circumstances
of the case. I mean provided
his Lordship tintinues
in the now

If I understand the
matter right, the
giving of false hopes
is a general rule
which with his
Lordship – either a rule
order made by him or
whether made by
him a rule which
he found established –
but a rule which
is supposed to admitt
of a particular
exception, favour
consideration of the particular circumstances
of this case
professed: an expectation
in which experience in this latter way of
will not to
very forbids
one to indulge himself.
I will tell you what
their plan is – and where
any chance, and it depends upon
whether it can content
me.

P.S. In his medical
capacity, his
Lordship has given
himself more work
to do than he seems
to be aware of. He
has not only my the
mind of your honorable Servant to cure,
but that of some
learned minds which
not only go about
without a Keeper
but would be caught
at with great
eagerness by his
Lordships Attorney
if he was unfortunate
enough to stand in
need of their assistance.
It is not only the
crazy quondam
lawyer – but some a most
perfectly sober as
well as most eminently
learned
lawyer (I speak
as yet but in the
singular) that has
pronounced his Lordship
with a numerous
tribe of
his friends punishable and in the severest degree short of death not only
in Parliament (where)
they are at term
but in a place
where justice is
at home – a
common Court of
justice.

To
You, my dear
Sir, who though
a legislator, (and a
legislator to whom
in that capacity
this country has very the most substantial
as well as
obligation) do not have no
such ambition as
that of calling yourself being called
a lawyer,
to you I spare my such
unpleasant confidence.
If they
hear of their danger
before they hear of
it from Westminster
Hall, it will be through
the medium of a lawyer
ban whence if they they will
be must hear of it they will at once be ashamed
and glad to hear of
it.

To assist your judgment
on the question
of comparative sanity
I will just
mention before
I release you, that
it depends upon
me at any time
by the mere disclosure
of a small
part of their folly
and their guilt
to set thier improved
Colony in a flame!
Rash and unfeeling
like them, were
I capable of being
so, the courses
they

they go on committing
in support
of their job,
I might be led
to
I could still less
hesitate to produce
to the public, while
calling alound for
justice. Were I
but A word
from me, and
N.S. Wales would
be on fire. Theirs
being the hand by
which the combustible
matter has
been heaped up –
they would be the theirs would
be none to answer for the last of
answering for it it to
not a hair of my
head could be
singed. From
Parliament alone
could any water
be thrown in to
quench stop the
conflagration.
Till Parliament
sets

Though no vessels
were sent

It depends upon
them to send vessels
or not to N.S. Wales
from home, but it
does would not depend upon
them to prevent vessels
from arriving
from North American
from Bengal or
other places with
the intelligence.

it is on this consideration is is, that
Till Parliament
sits but no longer not a
moment longer I keep the secret
of their crimes.
